by

The initial trailer for “Until Dawn,” based on the hit video game and produced by Sony Pictures and PlayStation Studios, has been unveiled. This upcoming film revolves around character Clover, portrayed by Ella Rubin, who along with her friends, find themselves in a harrowing ordeal within an isolated valley, where they confront a merciless nightmare.

On February 12, 2025, Sony shared four intriguing movie posters via social media, hinting at a new horror film titled “#UntilDawnMovie.” The movie will be exclusively screened in theaters starting April 25. A fresh trailer for this chilling production is scheduled to premiere the day after tomorrow. In the meantime, you can preview the previously released trailer and posters below.

Plot Overview

After a year from Melanie’s disappearance, Clover and her friends return to the eerie location in search of answers. Their exploration eventually takes them to an abandoned visitor center, where a masked murderer starts chasing them down. However, their nightmare doesn’t end with death. Whenever they are slain, the group is mysteriously transported back to the start of the same terrifying night, compelled to re-experience the horror all over again.

With each passing night, a fresh, even more alarming danger emerges, and the team quickly realizes they possess a finite number of chances to live. Their sole chance of surviving extends to reaching the next daybreak.

Creative Team

The film is helmed by director David F. Sandberg (known for “Shazam!” and “Lights Out”), who has collaborated with Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman (notable for “It” and “The Nun”) on the script. In addition to directing, Sandberg is also one of the producers, joined by Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, Lotta Losten, Roy Lee, Gary Dauberman, and Mia Maniscalco.

The collaboration between PlayStation Studios and Sony Pictures is set to bring the suspense and dread from the original game to life on the cinema screen.

The cast includes:

  • Ella Rubin as Clover
  • Michael Cimino
  • Odessa A’zion
  • Ji-young Yoo

Trailer Highlights

The teaser establishes a nerve-wracking, unsettling atmosphere as Clover embarks on a search for her lost sibling. As the team unwittingly steps into a loop involving death and rebirth, every revival presents a fresh assassin and intensifying peril.

Supporters of this game are likely to identify with its survival aspects and unexpected mental turns; the movie offers new interpretations of the plot to keep viewers intrigued.

Gary Dauberman, a writer and producer, expressed in a recent interview: “Being a big fan of the Until Dawn game and its cinematic quality, I spent a lot of time contemplating how we could progress the story without simply replicating the same experience that players had when they were gaming.

In her statement, Sandberg explained that the film maintains a similar atmosphere as the original but broadens the universe’s scope. One innovative aspect of the game was allowing players to choose different paths and meet various ends. The movie incorporates a unique element where events restart, giving characters a chance to try again. Each time they resurrect, it feels like they are in a new horror genre to survive until dawn.
